Hi, my name is Jo. I am new to disabled life.

Looking for some support. Newly disabled by RA and Arthritis. New mobility issues. Work have been trying to manage me out for some time. I got Reasonable adjustments after a 2 year fight. My work have now moved offices into a new office. The rooms for my job are upstairs. There is no lift in the new building. No space or room has been allocated for me to do my job downstairs. I have been told my job role will have to change or choose another job as I can no longer do my job due to access. My employers know about my disability prior to the move.

Apparently putting in a lift is "too expensive" and isn't going to happen.

    Hi @Roseyjo34 welcome to the community. I'm so sorry to read your situation. No one should be made to feel this way at work. Have you requested another occupational health assessment? With the office move, your environment has changed so I'd say another review is needed so they can assess your new office accessibility requirements.
